Xilinx ISE Design Suite

Description

The Xilinx ISE Design Suite can be used to design customizable integrated systems. Most notably, the suite is used to design the Field Programmable Array (FPGA), which allows a designer or customer to configure the circuit after manufacturing. ISE Design Suite is available for Windows and Linux platforms.

ISE Design Suite allows you to create and analyze electronic circuit designs. The circuits are written in Hardware Description Language (HDL), a specialized computer language. With the suite, you can examine Register-Transfer Level diagrams, perform timing analyses, and simulate different stimuli to test your design's reaction.

There are three editions of the ISE Design Suite: Embedded, System and WebPACK. While each edition is packaged with different features, ISE Design Suite offers tools that can be added for flexible configurations to enhance your productivity. Available tools include the ChipScope toolkit and Embedded Development Kit, each designed for use with the WebPACK edition. The ChipScope toolkit allows for quick setup and debugging of serial I/O channels within high-speed FPGA designs. The Embedded Development Kit, an IDE, is used to design embedded processing system.

The ISE Design Suite is a comprehensive tool that allows integrated circuit designers to design, analyze and test them. It provides an array of powerful features packaged in different editions and even lets you customize your selection of tools. Xilinx ISE Design Suite can be used to design and test your integrated circuit designs.
